50 Cent argues with Eminem
50 has promised to still keep making mixtapes that are free to get but Eminem has advised him to stop doing this cuz he doesn't approve of his marketing methods. 50 has released 3 mixtapes in the last 6 months. 50 tells MTV.com, "They think I'm crazy. Sometimes (Eminem) misses why I put it out. He goes, 'Why did you put it out?' "But I can't be as hot as I'm gonna be if I don't play around. I gotta spar before I go fight the champ. That's my concept of it. If I don't go out and make material and lock in (get fans' response to his music), I'm not gonna make the best possible material for the next (official) project."
I think as a fan I love to get free things of course just like anybody else u know, so I think he's doing an awesome thing.
But then again I do see where Eminem is coming from as well. Cuz as a businessman it is bad since you are losing money & maybe if 50 does release a CD that isn't free then people might not bother with it and refuse to buy it. know what I'm sayin'? Esp since 50's new CD didn't sell as much as his earlier 1s.
So it's a win for the fans but a lost for 50/Eminem and his company.
